Three Fun Facts About Me 

  1. I’ve worked as an expedition doctor on expeditions in the Andes and sub-Saharan Africa – an experience that has taken me to some incredible places.
  2. I’m passionate about global surgery and enjoy supporting the development of sustainable reconstructive surgical services in resource-limited settings.
  3. When I’m not in the operating room, I enjoy triathlons and swimming in open water.
